Step 1
Mix ground pork with soy sauce and scallions until just combined.
Step 2
Spoon 1 tsp filling into center of each wrapper. Fold in half, then bring corners together and pinch to seal.
Step 3
Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, ~60 seconds.
Step 4
Place buns flat-side down in the skillet without moving them. Let cook until bottom turns golden brown, ~3 minutes.
Step 5
Pour broth around the buns. Cover skillet, reduce heat to medium, and steam until liquid evaporates and filling cooks through, ~4 minutes.
Step 6
Uncover, increase heat to medium-high, and cook 30 seconds more to re-crisp the bottom.
